What is 47.37 percent of 38000 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 38000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 38000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38000=100%
2) x=47.37%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
38000/x=100%/47.37%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 47.37% of 38000

38000/x=100/47.37
(38000/x)*x=(100/47.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38000=2.1110407430863*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1110407430863) to get x
38000/2.1110407430863=x
18000.6=x
x=18000.6

now we have:
47.37% of 38000=18000.6
